  Usually when you just get a blank screen there is a problem playing 
the Flash movie, not the plugin. As the plugin is currently using the 
standalone player, if it works standalone, it'll work in Firefox. Rather 
than jumping to the major test right away, please try something simpler.

  My gut feeling is (being the MM Flash test page), that the tests use 
Flash features we haven't implemented fully yet. I don't go to Macro 
Media's site ever, but my guess would be these are SWF v8.5 test cases, 
which Gnash can't play yet.

 Once the plugin is stable, the focus will be on improving the 
compatibility of Flash it plays, eventually adding SWF v8++ support.
